Jailed Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi in critical condition after heart attack

Wednesday, 15 April 2026, 22:05 · 1 min read

Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate imprisoned for her human rights activism, is in critical condition following a heart attack suffered last month, her foundation warned on Wednesday. Family members who visited her at Zanjan Prison (a facility in northern Iran to which she was transferred in February without prior notice) reported severe weight loss and extreme physical deterioration, and said she is being held alongside inmates charged with murder who have threatened her life. Mohammadi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, was arrested in December after speaking out against Iran's clerical authorities and has since been sentenced to an additional six and a half years in prison; her foundation warned that her continued detention poses an "immediate and irreparable" risk to her life.
